Dressage Competition at Your Home
As reported by yourhorse.co.uk, there is a new British website available which allows you to compete in Dressage from the comfort of your own home; the program works by Dressage competitors submitting to the website for judging.
If you’re struggling to get out competing at the moment there is a new online dressage competition site that has just been launched. Dressage Anywhere is an exciting new competition website which allows you to ride a British Dressage test of your choice and have it judged by a top British Dressage judge without even leaving the yard!
The idea came from British Dressage List 1 judge and trainer Nereide Goodman together with partners, Lucinda Freeman and Ruth Chappell. They have been developing the project over the past 18 months, working closely with British Dressage. Their first competition schedule is now open. It’s simple to enter, ask a friend to video your test, upload it to www.dresssageanywhere.com following the simple on-screen instructions. When judging is completed you can download your score sheet from the website and see your result on the scoreboard.
There is prize money and rosettes so it is just like you are going out to compete but you don’t have the early start! You can chose to ride the test as training, this will still be judged by a British Dressage judge but one who is also a trainer. They will give you additional feedback to help to improve your performance in the arena.
This is a great new resource for all of the Dressage enthusiasts out there wishing to get to the next level of competition.
